It’s several months after the events of the first film, and the last remaining human city, the underground bunker called Zion, is building its forces to take back the planet from the artificial intelligence that now dominates it. This same artificial intelligence has begun to dig to destroy Zion, and the resistance seems overwhelmed by the potential onslaught. The plan is now hatched to send agents Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) back into the Matrix so that they may destroy the mainframe that controls it, but it’s not going to be easy, with the usual agents, a couple of ghosts, and hundreds of Agent Smiths (Hugo Weaving), who now seems to have the ability to replicate himself, on their tails.

Keanu Reeves stars as Thomas Anderson, aka Neo. Neo works for a large software company, but is a computer hacker on the side, and quite a good one at that, selling off information for a price to anyone who might want it. That is until one day his world is rocked when he is shown that the world of 1999 isn’t reality, but actually a computer simulation designed to lull humans into a feeling of complacency while their actual bodies are being harvested and used as batteries for the artificial intelligence they helped create. A mysterious man named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) believes Neo is “The One” who will save all humanity, as foretold to him by The Oracle, so he shows Neo the truth about his surroundings and trains him in the ways of The Matrix in the hope that humanity can prevail against the machines.
